The World Needs New Thinking. Get Ready.
ACS Doha is a welcoming, inclusive community of over 900 students aged three to 18, representing 70 nationalities and supported by 150 expert staff. At the heart of our approach is the idea of readiness – we empower our students with the skills and knowledge to thrive in a changing world. We foster critical thinking, an intrinsic love of learning, and a fundamental belief in every individual's worth.
Our world-renowned curriculum is based on international educational best practices. It challenges our students to become service-orientated world citizens with inquisitive minds and the confidence to challenge the status quo. From 2020 our academic program is being broadened with the addition of more US High School Diploma courses, Advanced Placement courses, and signature career-related pathways in collaboration with local partners.
Our students and staff come to us from every part of the world. The result is a stimulating, open-minded, outward-looking culture that celebrates international diversity and harnesses different perspectives. We are intensely proud of our vibrant and active community, and we strive to ensure everyone feels they belong and are valued.
Future-focused, inclusive, and engaging classroom learning encourages conceptual understanding, collaboration, communication, and social and research skills, delivered through our academically rigorous programs. We create opportunities and activities that inspire our students to think in fresh, exciting ways, so they reach a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the world, its citizens, and their place within it. Opening our students' minds in this way enhances and energizes their learning, ensuring they are ready for whatever their future holds.
We aim to develop well-rounded, resilient, and caring individuals. To support our rigorous curriculum, we offer a wide range of opportunities and activities, including sports, field trips, service learning, clubs, and student ambassador roles. This emphasis on developing social and emotional skills means our students grow in ways that will help them navigate and excel in changing workplaces and communities of the future.
We are excited to be opening a new state-of-the-art campus in August 2020, which will provide outstanding new sports and performing arts facilities, and inspiring teaching resources. It is part of our commitment to creating a legacy in Qatar and ensuring every ACS Doha student is ready to succeed at every stage of their lives.
Put all this together, and our students have the confidence, versatility, and knowledge they need to lead, learn, innovate, and grow – today and tomorrow. They "learn how to learn" so they can work independently, collaborate effectively, communicate clearly, and create opportunities. In short, these well-rounded global citizens have the academic and emotional intelligence to empathize and engage with tomorrow's significant issues, turning compassion into action as they stand ready for a future full of opportunity.
